Reports

Inequalities in mental health within any community impact society as a whole. This Report documents findings of consultations done as part of ‘Be Aware. Be well. Migrant Mental Health Initiative.’ Participants of the project, drawing on their own lived experiences, demonstrated the impact of a wide variety of social determinants on the mental health of the communities in which they live.

This position paper was developed by the national coalition Mental Health Reform. A paper highlights the importance of improving access to mental health services for people from ethnic minority backgrounds, including Travellers.

Paper was written by MHR following consultation with representatives from ethnic minority groups in Ireland including Cairde.

This project brought together a university UCD and an NGO Cairde to address the mental health needs of immigrants in Ireland. Focus groups were convened from groups and organisations affiliated with Cairde under the Ethnic Minority Health Forum.
